Wunsch

Language: German (Deutsch) 
O könnte doch an deinen Blicken,
Der Welt entrückt und ungesehn,
Des Dichters Seele in Entzücken
Wie ein Phantom der Nacht vergehn!

Und könnt' dies Herz mit seinen Gluthen,
Mit seiner Qual und seinem Wahn,
Sich still und heiß in dir verbluten,
Wie dort die Sonn' im Ocean.
